Police blames PGI for non-cooperation Chandigarh, July 23 While the police authorities claim that there have been cases in the past when cooperation from the PGI authorities in cases of criminal investigations has been lacking, the PGI authorities deny it. In this particular case, the police was informed three days after the molestation took place. A senior official of the Chandigarh Police said, “the matter should have been referred immediately to the police as it was a cognizable offence. The PGI authorities could have conducted a parallel administrative inquiry into the case”. Sources in the police said though a case had been registered and the sweeper had been arrested, the matter was being thoroughly investigated to dig out the facts in the case and take the it to its logical conclusion. The statement of the victim would be probed thoroughly. It is learnt that the Chandigarh Police was taking up the matter to ensure that timely action was taken in the cases which required criminal investigations. However, the PGI authorities deny that any delay or an attempt to shield the person, alleged to be involved in the molestation of a woman, who had come here to donate a kidney, on July, 17. The Joint Medical Superintendent, Dr D. Behera, said the woman herself was reluctant to report the matter to the police and it was only through the nurses to whom she related the incident that the PGI authorities learnt about it. He said since the woman had herself said that it was not rape, “we did not feel the need for a medical examination”. He said since the woman was to donate a kidney to save the life of a person, it was felt that the operation should not be delayed. He said after she was in a position to give a statement to the police, a high level team of the PGI ascertained the details from her and informed the police. |

Computers to interlink city power system Chandigarh, July 23 The corporation has agreed to complete the work of computerised linking on actual cost basis. Using the experience of the PGCIL, the administration will use the data generated by the interlinking to manage the distribution system in a better way. The interlinking of sub-stations and transformers is called sequential control and data acquisition (SCADA) and is used by most modern power distributors. It can tell in a matter of seconds the exact location of the fault. The administration has also asked the Power Grid Corporation to speed up the construction of two 66 KV sub-stations in the southern sectors. The administration today asked the corporation to conduct feasibility study. The techno-economic clearance for these projects has already been granted by the Central Electricity Authority. The case has to be finally approved at the level of the Administrator. These sub-stations, each costing about Rs 5 to 6 crore, will be funded by the Centre and will help streamline the power distribution system in the southern sectors. Besides, the administration also plans to have a common number for receiving round-the-clock power complaints at a centralised place. This will eliminate the problem of busy telephone lines when power goes off. All the existing 18 billing and complaint centres located across the city are to be inter-connected through computers, thus providing real-time online data. The Regional Computer Centre (RCC) is already working on the system to connect all centres. As a part of the pilot project, the billing and complaint office in the Sector 10 has been computerised.
Another night without power It was another uncomfortable night for Sector 32 residents. Power failed in certain areas around 2 am and complete restoration was possible only at around 10 am. This summer Sectors 34, 45, 44, 43, 35, 37, 38, 39, 46 and 47 have borne the brunt of the power crisis. Last night, sources said, a feeder had developed a fault. |
